Very nice swap ..... consider it, too.

Hallo :-) I had serious issues with the engine with a loud ticking (below 5000 Miles!) when the engine was hot (not the "standart HEMI tick"), The dealer made several tests and in the end Star Hotline decided to exchange the engine to a brandnew one. Reason: There was dirt / residue from the...

I am BACK :) While I had some serious issues with my first RAM 1500 in 2023, I decided to trade the truck for an 2024 JEEP Grand Cherokee L with the V6 3.6 Pentastar. Although the Jeep was a nice car, very comfortable, quiet, easy to handle and in the L version spacious - it's not a RAM and...

Another update: Star Hotline decided to exchange the engine to a brandnew one. Reason: The dirt / residue was not only in the engine coolant but in the whole engine and already damaged the cylinders and pistons. Obviously something went wrong during the production..... I am satisfied, that...

Another update: Star Hotline wants the dealer to run a borosocope and take internal pictures. These pictures then to be send to RAM to decide about the way ahead. That was done yesterday, today no further info except that they are working on the case. The RAM sits with the Dealer for more...

Quick update. The Ram is still with the dealer. They changed all lifters (if I understood him correctly). By changing the lifters, they had to drain the cooling system and found a lot of stein(is that the correct spelling) in the system. obviously form the production/factory. It's now fully...

Truck is at the dealer since yesterday. So far, no update, except: they are working on.....we will see....

ITHX for all the answers, very helpful for me. I have tomorrow aftenoon an appointment to bring it in to the dealer. We will see.....

May I ask: What is PPU? which mobile 1 did you use? That for trucks or the "normal" one? Thx!

THX for your answers. I just doublecheked that. When the engine is cold, there is no ticking. It starts ticking when the engine is warm and is not going away, when going above 1500-2000rpm. Yes an oilchange is of course an option, I will try it! Thx Marc

Oil Level is to max. Oil was changed during the last service by the RAM Dealer here in VB. It's an 0w-20, don't know the brand.

Hey, I have an issue with my 2023 RAM 5.7 with 6000Miles...so, almost new I would say. Last oil change by 3000 Miles. I read a lot about the ticking by Hemi Engines and the cracked manifold. However, I understood, if the ticking noise will stop when the engine is warm its not the exhaust...

THX!!!!! Thats a good start, and its obvious that there are solutions to fix it, although its a different engine

Thats an interesting idea...perhaps it's an idea to go back to the delaer with that fix and let them do something...was it your TRX that was fixed?

no...grey...I LOVE my crocs.....🤣🤣🤣
